EGIFECALEQN formin part of Letters Patent No. 3461-966, dated July 6,1886,

Application filed January 15, 1986. Serial No. 188.6 9. (.\'0 model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, HENRY Iwxr: and LOUIS IWAN, citizens of the UnitedStates, re siding at Streator, in the county of La Salle and State ofIllinois, have invented a certain new and Improved Liquid-Receptacle forCanes and the Like; and we hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the same.

Our invention relates to an improvement in the construction of canes,umbrella and parasol handles, whip stocks, 850., whereby a receptaclecharged with perfumery, disinfect ing or other liquid is contained inthe same, the contents of which may be expelled, as desired, throughaminute orifice provided, preferably, in the handle.

It is the object of our invention'to afford a liquid-receptacle in theabove-named counee on the sheet; Fig. 2, a sectionalvicwillustrat 1 ingthe mechanism of our improved device as applied to a cane; Fig. 3, aperspective view of a detail, and Fig. 4 a sectional plan view taken onthe line 4 4 of Fig. 2.

A is the stick portion of a cane, umbrella or parasol handle,whip-stock, 8m, made 1101- low toward its upper extremity to contain ayielding, preferably tubular, receptacle, ]3, formed,also, preferably ofrubber. The receptacle B has no opening at the bottom, and is closed atthe top by impinging against or being secured in any desired manner to aferrule, 0, formed upon the upper extremity of the stick portion A; anda hollow screw-head, t, is provided upon the ferrule to receive ascrewthreaded ferrule, 0, formed upon the handle A, and affords firmconnection when the device is adjusted between the latter and the stickpose.

portion. A longitudinal recess is provided in one side of the hollowstick portion, adjacent to the receptacle B, to contain ametalpresserbar, D, having a button, r, formed preferably a little below itscentral portion and projecting through an opening provided for that pur-A slender tube, '15, ending in a minute orifice, q, and extending downnearly to the bottom of the receptacle B, is secured to the handle A,and permits, upon actuating the devicein the manner hereinafterdescribed, the desired discharge ofliquid.

The operation of our device is as follows: The handle A having beenunscrewed and removed, carrying with it the tube E, the receptacle B maybe filled with perfume or any other desired liquid through the openingthus a forded. ,The handle is then replaced, and with it the tube E, theopening in which, descending almost to the bottom of the receptacle, isof course always below the surface of the liquid until thelatter isalmost exhausted. When it is desired to make use of the contents ofthedevice, pressure upon the thumb-piece 7' will force the bar D againstthe receptacle B, thereby compressing the latter and forcing the liquidthrough the tube Eand expellingit through the orifice q. Besides its useas an article of luxuryinits employment as ahandy receptacle forperfumery, our device affords a very useful and desirable means forcarrying about a disinfectant for use in case of emergency.

Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination, with a hollow cane or the like, of a compressiblereceptacle therein to containliquid, and provided with an escapetubeextending into the receptacle, and means, substantially as described,for compressing the said receptacle, substantially as and for thepurpose set forth.

2. A cane or the like, hollow toward its upper extremity and containinga compressible water-proof receptacle, and provided with an escape-tubeextending intothe receptacle, a presser -bar adjacent to the saidreceptacle having a button accessible from the exterior of the device,whereby pressure exerted upon the button will compress the receptacle,substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. A cane or the like, hollow toward its upper extremity and containinga rubber tube, B, closed at its lower end, an escape-tube, E, supportedto extend into the tube B and having an orifice, g, at its upperextremity, a presser-bar, D, within the device adjacent to the tube Band provided with a button, r, accessible from the exterior of thedevice, whereby pressure exerted upon the button will compress thereceptacle, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

4. A cane or the like having the part A, hollow toward its upperextremity and con taining a rubber tube, B, tocontain a liquid, closedat its lower end, an annular ferrule, O, snrnxounting the part A andprovided with a hollow scrmv-head, t, a hollow handle, A,

screw-ed upon the head t, an escape-tube, E, supported to extend at itslower end into the tube B and provided at its opposite end with a minuteorifice, q, near the surface of the arranged to operate substantially asand for c 5 the purpose set forth.
